Hello everybody I'm sorry for the late post I was really busy with my studies and all anyway you came here to read my review not my life story so I'll just stop writing about me I guess.As you all might had guess I read Mary Quinn:The Traitor and The Tunnel it is the third book of the series and it is written by Y S Lee and published in 2011.
The good
.The story has a more interesting premise than the second book.
.To me the characters develops more than the first two book.
The bad
.To me the mystery feeling disappeared a little.
.I didn't quite like the ending.
Quick summary
Mary is assigned to investagate who keeps stealing antique at the palace so she works there as a maid there she finds out that the prince's friend is dead and the killer might be her long lost father and that James will be working at the palace.She quickly goes to warn James no to blow her cover if he sees her at the palace but ...........................That is all I guess
The conclusion
While the thord book makes the characters more developed amd has a more interesting premise than the second it is let down by the lack of mystery and a dissapointing ending however for a fan it is still aa great book to read but for the one who is expecting a bit of mystery better find another book.

Inkdeath
Hi everybody last week I read Inkdeath(I'm still not sure why I read it and the first two was just okay.Anyway it is the third book and the last of the series.It receive mixed to negative reviews.
The good
.The story becomes more interesting this time.
.Elinor is as likeable as ever.
.Some characters hold more crucial part this time(Violante,Orpheus,Resa,etc)
The bad
.Meggie becomes less important in this book.
.Sadly Elinor doesn't appears much.
Quick summary
Now Mo,Resa and Maggie are stuck in Inkheart because Fenoglio wouln't write anymore and they didn't want to ask Orpheus.Mo keeps pretending to be Bluejay(a hero created by Fenoglio in the last book)and fughting soldiers but Meggie is worried that her father might die.Meanwhile Elinoris miserable in her house because all of them had dissappeared after alot of mourning Darius decide to try..................that's all I guess.
The conclusion
The story is more interesting than before.It has more story on some characters this time(sadly not Elinor) so how in the world did it recieve mixed to negative reviews(If you read the Inkdeath Wikipedia reviews one reviews will says that Cornelia Funke forgot who was she writing it for,well I didn't agree with that review sure this time it has a darker tone but kids doesn't mind reading it.After all since the publication of the first book the kids have grown for four years and I don't see people complaining at Harry Potter)While it is not he best book around it isn't that bad.So for people who loves book Inkdeath will definitely smile.

The Demon's Covenant
Hello everybody this week I read The Demon's Covenant the second book of the series it is written by Sarah Rees Brennan.It is published in 2010 and receive positive review.This time it tells from Mae point of view(The first one is Nick.
The good
.The characters are more alive this time(youcan't help loving Mae and Nick,feeling sorry for Jamie and Anabelle(Mae's mother
.The story has improved(The goblin market is shown more it explores the world more)
.I really liked the cover(the one with the illustration)
The bad
.Nothing I can say that is bad except for the cover(I managed to bought the illustrated one but I almost decided to buy the one with real people on it)I have said before that I don't like cover with real people on it but this book takes it to a whole new level the back ground is so tacky I wanted to scream(Thank goodness I managed to find the illustrated one but it was really hard to find)
Quick summary
Mae now returns to her normal life but one day she saw Jamie talking to Gerald(a magician in the obsidian circle)she quickly calls Nick and Alan.Gerald is trying to make Jamie to become one of their mages.jamie thinks of agreeing since he thinks Gerald can help him control his power but Mae is not......................That's all I can say read the book it definitely worth it.
The conclusion
The Demon' Covenant is an absolutely amazing book. it has amazing story lovable characters and absolutely enchanting setting.Sarah writes her story with action and humour like nothing.Mae is definitely a great choice for the main character in these book,she was so spunky and adventurous that even I were suprised on somethings that she did,perhaps what made Mae a standout was that she was one of the weakest main character in the book but that didn't stop her,she tried everything to save the one she loved even Nick and Simon with her bravery that you simply cannot but feel respect for her.The ending managed to suprise me.This book is definitely going to be one of my favourite book for years to come and it shows that Sarah Rees Brennan is an author that is to be reckoned with.
